Review by D. Salley for Minka-Aire Fans F300-ORB 11″ Retro Contemporary Indoor Oil-Rubbed Bronze Desk Fan

This fan worked well for about 7-8 months. Then the bearings seized up and the motor’s carbon brushes melted. I took it to an appliance repair shop and the technician said it was “Un-repairable”. No parts that he had would fit it and Minka-Aire supplies nothing to their customers or repair sites. He said it was the hardest fan he had every tried to service and that it wasn’t made to ever be taken apart. The warranty was for only 90 days. It was noisy from day one.
I just purchased a similar sized/looking Hunter fan with a 5 year warranty. The cost was the same, at $60.00, as the Minka-Aire. I am hoping that the new Hunter will last. If it doesn’t, I have 5 years of them fixing it, or replacing it for free. I am still wary of Chinese made appliances. They all seem to be made for as little as possible. I want to spend my money on quality products, not “it only lasts for one season” junk!
Let the buyer beware! Stick with a good name brand that has a realistic warranty. Hunter may be made in China too, but they have a big name here and will probably protect that with good warranty coverage.

It’s a sturdy, sufficiently heavy, very cool looking–has that retro look and feel down–fan. I’ve had it a couple of months and, so far, pleased with its look and operation.
